This photo is a good example of the Great Depression because it shows how "negroes" were affected in this time period. They were unable to forge money for food, so they were forced to try and fish for food. They also tryed to hunt and gather. Since, food and money was scarce people had to resort to these tactics. They were starving and relied on the resources around them to keep them alive in the South. This photograph shows three African-Americans fishing in Alabama during 1936. On the lower left there is a woman gathering water with a pail
Part 2(A)
In this first photo I see a woman struggling for her kids and her to survive. In this the people shown are a woman and her two kids living in slums. I first notice the woman's sad look on her face that her kids are starving.I think this image was made because it shows the growing struggle during the Great Depression.In the image a woman is nervous about what will become of her kids. A camera was made to make this image. I wonder who filmed it. I wonder when this was made. I wonder where this took place.
Destitute pea pickers in California. Mother of seven children. Age thirty-two. Nipomo, California
At the bus station in Durham, North Carolina
In the second picture, I first notice I black man standing in an area labeled "colored waiting room". A train is shown in this picture with the man. The physical setting is a train station. I think this image was made to show people about discrimination that went on in the South during the Great Depression. I think it was in the heart of the Great Depression era. I learn that not everybody was treated as equal back then, from looking at the picture. I wonder how this made the black man fell. I wonder where he is going. I wonder what thoughts are going through his mind.

In this photo, I notice a sign that says colored on it. The object that is shown is the giant sign that says, "Colored waiting room". I can also see a building that the sign is pointing to. I think this image was made to show how unfairly African-Americans were treated, and disrespected. I think this image was made in the early years of the Great Depression. I can learn from this photo that people used to have very different opinions from those today. I wonder why people were treated different. I wonder how blacks reacted, mentally. I wonder who tried to change this.
Part 2(B)
Cafe in warehouse district during tobacco auction season. Durham, North Carolina
In this photo, a restaurant is showed having a sign over the door that says, "White". I first notice the huge sign that says, "Hot Weiners Hamburgers" on it. The physical setting is a small market. I think this image was made toward the end of the Great Depression. An object that is missing from this picture is a white person walking into it, or a black man standing outside. This picture would be different today because there would be no "White" sign. I wonder why the manager put this up. I wonder who the manager is. I wonder how this came to be.
Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyards, Baltimore, Maryland. A drinking fountain
In this photo, there is a water fountain that has the word "white" next to it. I first notice the sign that says water, but as I move my eyes I notice an underlined white's only sign. I notice a water fountain in the picture. In the image blacks are forced to look for a black's water fountain. I think this was made in the very beginning of the Great Depression because it shows that racial descrimination is growing strong. If someone made this today, there wouldn't be a white sign on it. I wonder how this made African-Americans feel. I wonder when this was made.I wonder why anyone would want to be so racist as to put up a sign.
Rex Theatre for colored people. Leland, Mississippi Delta
I see a movie theater that says colored people. It looks really run-down. A white person's would be nice, and clean. They made the colored ones all gross. Two black people are standing outside of the theater.I think this image was made to show people in the North, how people in the South were being treated. I think people in the North were the intended audience. I wonder why only colored people were allowed in. I wonder who would make a run down theater for colored people only. I wonder why they aren't as nice as a white person's would be.
Part 3(A) These people are hard-working, and determined to make a living. These people are poor, and in desperate need of money. They represent the time period by being poor, and need to make a living. These people were in the worst economy, and therfore had the worst jobs. The woman were maids, and housewifes. The men were like oil miners, and got dirty jobs. They worked minimum wage jobs, and got paid little. In the time period, it was hard to keep there families full of food. Most families were starving, and wore ragid clothes. These people lived in the South, because that is where the country was hit the hardest. In the South, the people had to scavenge for food, and people were being racist.
